I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and could not spare any more time for that one. It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pondside; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct.
What is the metaphor being used in this passage?

lives to live

Explanation:

The speaker, obviously only has one life just like we all do.

Then, he wanted another change, which drove him to leave:
